The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Fourteen
Matteo"There must be something in the air. Everyone is getting hitched...." I turned Christian out.He was a cousin from the father's side who held a prominent position in the mafia gang in another country. I respected him, and I listened to anything he had to say regarding the mafia world, people I should stay away from, and the best allies one should have.Except for tonight.My jaw tightened when I heard that familiar laugh again, all the way from the other side of the room.Valentina had been talking to Ethan for the past ten minutes since most of the Nevarros were yet to arrive. Not just talking - she was laughing and smiling like he was some award winning stand-up comedian when I knew for a fact that he wasn't that funny. And she had been avoiding me since Thursday. Today was Saturday.Irritation bubbled in my throat when he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips. He said something, and she laughed again.She'd never laughed that much when she was with me. And I was

Matteo.Valentina's breath hitched, but the fire in her eyes had returned, burning brighter than before. "I'm not yours. I might be married to you, but that's in name only. You belong to Isabella, or have you forgotten?"Her voice was defiant, though it trembled slightly when she spoke."I haven't forgotten anything." I grazed my knuckles up her bare thigh, inch by inch until I got to the hem of her dress.Her body grew taut, the heat emanating from her a wild temptation that sank into me and made me want to kiss those puckered lips again. To crush her mouth with mine and ruin her perfect lipstick once and for all.To show everyone out there who she belonged to."If you want me to stop," I murmured, nudging her knees apart with my leg. "All you have to do is say the word."Valentina opened her mouth, a cuss at the tip of her tongue most likely, but she bit it back as I traced a lazy circle onto her skin with my thumb. Her cheeks blushed a deep crimson, the colour spreading down to her

Valentina."Another day to pretend I wasn't tired."I dreamt of Matteo for an entire week.I could never remember what happened in the dream, but I always woke up with the phantom touch of his hands between my eyes and a tight ball of need in my stomach.Didn't help that I felt Isabella’s disapproval alongside.Cold showers, as much as I hated them, helped once in a while. Matteo's absence in the estate was a blessing in disguise, though I hoped he wouldn't come home with a bruised face againA blessing in disguise because I wouldn't have to deal with his smug face whenever we had breakfast with memories of sex dreams running through my mind.His grip on my neck. His fingers filling me as I shamelessly rode his hand to orgasm. The desire in his eyes as he watched me break apart in his arms.It was so potent that the words he said before he walked away from me didn't even hold any real effect."Isabella would watch as I break you."It was all a game to him. Something to amuse him until

Valentina."Valentina!!"He had barely walked in through the front door before he was in my space, his hand brushing against my cheek like the last week hadn't happened.Like he hadn't disappeared after giving me my first orgasm.I flinched at the contact, my body tensing up instinctively, but Matteo didn't seem to notice.His touch, usually commanding and cold, was strangely gentle this time. His thumb lingered on my skin as if he wanted to trace the outline of my face."Where have you been?" I asked, my voice betraying none of the swirling confusion that his sudden return stirred in me.To hide the effect of the words his half brother had confided in me yesterday.I was getting better at hiding my emotions now.Matteo smiled, the kind of smile that made anyone who saw it forget he was the Don to the Nevarro mafia group. "Business. Nothing to worry your pretty head about."The kind of smile he had never given me before.His evasiveness was nothing new - he kept what happened to him t

"I don't have a choice."The words hung between us, charged with unspoken tension.Matteo was a master at hiding his emotions, but even I could see the cracks in his calm facade, the tiny shifts that betrayed more than he wanted me to know."Isabella is gone, Valentina. She left. She's not coming back."The more he tried to control the conversation, the more certain I became that there was something deeper simmering beneath his words.What had happened between those two?No matter how much he tried to deny it. Claim he moved on by getting married to me, I could tell he wasn't being completely honest.Not with himself.He loved her.Why did the one truth I knew made my chest tighten?"I don't believe you," I said quietly, my voice firm as I watched his face for a glimpse of his reaction.Matteo's eyes flashed, the barest flicker of irritation crossing his features before he masked it again. If I wasn't looking, I would have missed it.He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms over

Matteo"I wondered when you would crack," Ethan uttered, his sharp eyes trained on me as he swirled the scotch in his glass. "Those men are bastards. Plus Valerie and I had a bet which she lost now."I clenched my jaw, a familiar tension building in my chest.The Greens, as Ethan and I named them, were rival mafia gang who had always played their hands too close. They were too smug. They thought they could get away with anything.They did. For a while.What had once seemed like a friendly rivalry between us had turned sour, twisted into something dangerous and dark.Now, they had no issues crossing boundaries. Coming for me when I was done with a business trip and having a private time."They pushed too far, Ethan. I shouldn't have killed that particular one so soon." My voice was low, anger simmering beneath the surface.Ethan leaned against the chair, his sharp features etched with concern. He knee better than anyone, the weight I carried on my shoulders when I did something I didn’

Valentina."We're going on a date." Matteo had announced barely twenty-four hours after we returned from the dinner date.That morning, the rain had barely ceased, leaving behind a certain dampness in the air that clung to my skin.I stood outside the estate, nervously biting at my lip as I waited for Matteo. He had strict instructions that I waited for him.My fingers found the hem of my coat as I glanced up at the grey sky. The night seemed to stretch endlessly, a perfect backdrop for the war of emotions churning inside me.Matteo hadn't thought it would be prudent to mention where we were going to. So, I had no idea if I was underdressed or overdressed.But when the sleek black car pulled up, and Matteo emerged from the driver's seat, his normal attire of a crisp, perfectly tailored suit absent but this time he was dressed in a blue tshirt and some jeans, I knew my outfit of a plain white t-shirt and grey joggers wasn't bad.There was something different about him tonight."Tesoro,

Valentina.I should stop him.We hadn't resolved all our issues yet, and kissing - or more - would complicate things even more.I should stop him.But I didn’t.Instead, I threaded my fingers through his hair and succumbed to the assault of my senses.The firm grip on the back of my neck. The expert pressure of his lips. The way Matteo's body body molded into mine, all hard and hot.His mouth hovered over mine, the heat of his breath sending a shiver down my spine.For a moment, his lips lingered just a hair's breadth away, as if giving me one final chance to push him away. To stop this madness.But I didn’t.I didn’t want to.Because when I was with him like this, everything that was tangled and messed up between us seemed to dissolve into the background.Matteo's hand moved from the back of my neck to cradle my face, his thumb brushing along my cheek. The rough pads of his fingers sent sparks across my skin, and I couldn't stop the soft gasp that escaped my lips.That was all the in

Valentina.Matteo woke up twelve hours after his surgery. I was there, standing in the corner of the room, shrouded in the shadows cast by the dim hospital lighting. I'd stayed long after the others had been ushered out... Valerie, Lorenzo, Ethan... all of them trying to coax me into taking a moment to rest, to eat, to breathe.But I couldn't leave him.When his eyes finally fluttered open, confusion clouded his expression. Those beautiful eyes wandered, tracing the IV in his arm, the bandages around his neck, and the faint rhythm of the heart monitor beside him.He looked so lost.I wanted to rush at him, to grab his hand, to tell him he was safe. But my feet felt like lead, my chest tightening with an ache that I didn't know how to express.So I stayed where I was, watching him from afar. The staff couldn't believe I was the same woman who had almost thrown herself on his bed so I would be wheeled in with him.Matteo murmured something... a weak, hoarse sound I couldn't make out..

Valentina."Matteo!" The scream ripped from my throat, raw and primal, echoing off the walls. My hands trembled as I pressed them harder against the gaping wound on his neck. Blood seeped between my fingers, warm and sticky, staining my skin and my soul."No, no, no," I choked out, my voice cracking as I leaned over him. "Matteo, stay with me. Please, stay with me."His face was getting paler with every second that passed, his chest rising and falling in those shallow, uneven rhythms.I pressed harder against the wound, ignoring the way my hands shook, ignoring the tears streaming down my face. "You're not leaving me," I whispered fiercely. "Do you hear me? You're not allowed to leave me!""Somebody, help!"Anybody.Isabella stood near the edge of the room, arms crossed and face unreadable. Her lips twisted into that maddening, faint smirk as Luca’s... there had to be his... men darted around her, their boots pounding against the floor.The moment the faint wail of sirens broke thro

Valentina.The silence after a gunshot could be deafening, a void that swallows everything. No one ever talked about how it felt to pull the trigger that took a life, even if said life had been dead long before you pulled that trigger.I stood there, my arms hanging limp by the sides, the gun slipping from my hand to clatter on the blood-streaked floor. My chest heaved with shallow breaths as I stared at her... our mother, slumped and motionless.So quiet in the face of death.Her lifeless eyes stared back at me, now glassy and unseeing. Blood pooled around her head, soaking into the floor, a dark halo of guilt I'd painted myself."No," I whispered, the word tasting foreign and hollow.My knees buckled, but I didn't fall. My body was rooted, trapped in this moment, as if time itself refused to let me leave.What had I done? From the corner of my vision, Isabella shifted. Her face fixed with a mask of indifference, though her lips were curling ever so slightly into a smirk that sent

Matteo.The metallic tang of blood filled my nostrils, sharp and suffocating. Luca's knee drove deeper into my chest, pinning me to the blood-slick floor. The knife in his hand pressed harder against my throat, its edge biting into flesh with a cold, merciless precision.Warmth spread across my neck, the metallic smell sharp in the air. I gasped, the air a fleeting luxury as my body thrashed instinctively beneath his weight."Look at you," Luca sneered, his voice low, dripping with venom. "The great Matteo Nevarro reduced to this. Pathetic." His face hovered just above mine, his grin unhinged, his green eyes alight with triumph. My vision blurred, edges darkening as the oxygen slipped away. My hands clawed at his wrists, my fingers trembling with desperation, but his grip remained unyielding.The lunatic was truly going to kill me.Then, as the world began to darken, her face appeared. Valentina. Her laughter, light and rare, the way her lips curled despite the weight of her own

Matteo."I'll kill you with my own hands, Luca."My breath came in sharp, controlled bursts as I squared off with Luca. His men surrounded us, their guns trained on me, and Lorenzo’s men who had survived the chaos outside. The air in the room was electric, thick with tension, and the metallic tang of blood."I should have known," I continued before he said anything again, keeping my voice low yet steady. "I should've known you'd never stop until you destroyed everything."Luca had always wanted what wasn't meant for him. Even from a younger age, when he had come to live with my father and I, alongside his mother and sister, he had wanted everything I had.Every toy.Every achievement.He simply wanted to have it all. And every single time he got it then he destroyed it afterwards. He burnt the toys, he tore the certificates, he told the lesson teachers to leave or he'll scar them."Destroyed?" Luca echoed, a laugh bursting from him, dark and sharp. "You're standing in front of the onl

Matteo."I hate you. Do you hear me? I HATE YOU."My hands had lingered on the cold steel of the door handle when she screamed those words, the echo of the lock sliding into place still ringing in my ears.It wasn't a decision I had taken lightly.Locking Valentina up in a room with her psycho of a mother to keep her safe was probably the dumbest thing I had ever done, but it was worth it. If it gave her an opportunity to leave here safely, then I had to believe that.My boots scraped against the concrete as I forced myself to move, step by step, away from that door. Each step felt heavier than the last, weighed down by a mix of guilt and resolve.Fuck.Had I done the right thing?No. I couldn't afford to think about that now, so I pushed the thought aside, my jaw tightening as I straightened my posture. There was no time for doubt.Luca was out there, and every second spent questioning my decision was just a second wasted. When this was over, I would fall to her feet, kiss it, even
The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Ninety Seven
Valentina.The words echoed in my head like a gunshot, deafening and final. Pedro Nevarro is dead.My hands trembled as I lowered my gun, my mind racing. Pedro Nevarro was the father to Matteo, Luca, and Sophia Nevarro. An institution that defies all forces and came back stronger to rule his gang with his heir. If Luca had managed to kill him...I didn’t finish the thought. I couldn’t. In front of me, Isabella’s smirk widened, her eyes gleaming with a twisted sort of satisfaction. She confused me most times. The woman who had changed within minutes of our departure, then helped me by giving me clues and all..."Well," she said lightly, brushing imaginary dust off her sleeve, "it seems our dear family is shrinking faster than expected."But irrespective of all she had done for me, I didn't know her. Didn't understand her. Didn't trust her.So I shot her a glare, my chest tightening with fury. "Shut up, Isabella." But she didn’t. Of course, she didn’t. She was much more talkati

Valentina. "Luca is here!" Someone shouted from somewhere in the forsaken warehouse, the words cutting through the distant gunfire like a blade.Chaos erupted around us. The echoes of bullets ricocheted through the warehouse, sharp and unforgiving. The air felt heavy with the tang of metal and sweat, pressing down on me with every breath I took.My heart thundered in my chest as I turned to Matteo. His face was a mask of focus, his jaw clenched tightly as he scanned the room for threats. “We have to leave,” he said, his voice low but urgent. “Now.” “No!” I yelled, my hands trembling as I gestured to the figure tied up on the floor. “We can’t just leave her here!” My mother’s glare burned into me from where she sat, bruised and bound, as though this entire mess was somehow my fault. “She doesn’t want our help,” Matteo snapped, his voice as cold as steel. I stared at him, disbelief twisting in my gut. “That doesn’t matter! I’m not leaving her!” The gunfire grew louder, clo
The Mafia Don's Redemption Chapter Ninety Five
Valentina.The sharp scent of gasoline and damp concrete filled my nose as we walked through the narrow corridor of the abandoned warehouse.The walls loomed close, painted with age and grime, while faint echoes of dripping water amplified the unease curling in my stomach.I had felt it the entire drive here... that tightening in my chest, the nausea rolling under my ribs. It wasn’t just nerves. It was dread. A tangible warning that something terrible was waiting for us. And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to turn back. Matteo stalked ahead, his shoulders tense, his gun held low but ready. Alessia flanked the rear, her eyes scanning the shadows, every muscle in her body coiled for action. The rest of the men were intertwined with us, close enough to know they were around yet far enough that I couldn't see them.We moved in silence, connected only by the whispers of Lorenzo’s voice in our earpieces, feeding us directions and updates. “Five guards on the north side, Matteo,” Lorenzo
